MELBOURNE, July 13 AAP - An elderly man who died five years ago in a US hospital may have been a fugitive from Victoria who murdered his pregnant wife and three children 40 years ago, police believe.

Elmer Crawford has been on the run since the discovery of the bodies of his wife Theresa and their children Kathryn, 13, James, 8, and Karen, 6, in the family car in the Loch Ard Gorge near Port Campbell, in the state's southwest, in July 1970.

A 1971 inquest found Crawford had bashed and electrocuted his family in their home in Glenroy, in Melbourne's north, on July 1, 1970, then pushed his car with the four bodies inside of the cliff at the gorge, where it was later found by police.

RESCUERS are battling foul weather and rough terrain to reach the crash site of a plane carrying nine Australians near the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, after wreckage was spotted this morning.

The plane went missing yesterday with 13 people on board - seven
Victorians, two Queenslanders, one Japanese and three PNG citizens,
authorities say. An aerial search resumed this morning and found the
charter plane's wreckage but saw "no signs of activity".

There was no immediate confirmation of the fate of those on board, but Foreign Minister Stephen Smith has said there are "very grave concerns" for all passengers and crew.

He told Parliament a Sea King helicopter was waiting on tarmac in Port Moresby for clearance to fly to the wreckage. He said there are four PNG police and an Australian doctor on board.

Another Australian plane with embassy staff and more search and
rescue experts were heading to Kokoda village from the capital. From
there it would be a three-hour trek to the wreckage.

Another local search party was already looking for the plane, but
there are concerns poor conditions will hamper all efforts to reach the
scene.

"We have opened the prospect of three separate parties trying to
reach the crash site at high altitude in very difficult circumstances,"
Mr Smith said. "I'm advised that the weather is closing in and is
deteriorating and is very likely to hamper these efforts both by air
and on foot."

MICHAEL Jackson's
eldest children face an uncertain, bizarre future after their mother
and his former wife Deborah Rowe confessed he is not their father.

Rowe's confession in the first public interview she has conducted since Jackson's death at the age of 50 last Friday was astonishingly candid.

The mother of Prince, 12, and Paris, 11, said Jackson - whom she
married in Sydney in 1996 - said she was artificially inseminated by an
anonymous donor.

And she told how, despite Jackson's death, she does not want custody of the children and never expected to see them again.

It means Prince and Paris now face a doubtful future, effectively
without parents and the subject of a fight to find them a permanent and
stable family home.

Rowe, who met Jackson when she was a receptionist at a Beverly Hills
dermatology clinic where he regularly went for skin treatments, said
that when she married Jackson, he was lonely but wanted children and
she offered to have his babies.

Rowe - who claims Jackson wanted little to do with her after she had
her second child - said she was "impregnated" like one of the
thoroughbred mares she now keeps on her property, adding: "I was just
the vessel. It wasn't Michael's sperm.

"I got paid for it, and I've moved on. I know I will never see my children again."

all that hype because of Michael Jackson!!!!! too much news about him - what about Farrah Fawcett? not much news about her. I want to see news about her cause she was a legend.hoaxes about Jeff Goldblum too. Sorry about my part in that - news people fell for it too. I'm not the only one.

MichaelJackson and Farrah Fawcett are dead - RIP - and Jeff Goldblum reportedly also dead in an on-set accident while filming. This one unconfirmed though.What's happening in the world at the moment?????

The
reclusive music star was found not breathing when paramedics were
called earlier today to his rented mansion in the LA suburb of Bel Air.

Jackson
had been rehearsing for a series of comeback concerts, starting with 50
shows in London, that he had hoped would rehabilitate his image after
child molestation charges, and help rescue him from serious financial
difficulty.

The African-Americansinger, often called the King
of Pop, had the biggest selling record in US history with Thriller in
1982. The album, which included the song Billy Jean, was also a hit
worldwide.

Jackson was born on August, 29, 1958, in Indiana. He found childhood fame as part of the singing group The Jacksons.

I have 2 girls - Stephanie and Lillian. I had 2 strokes (December 2008 and March 2009) and I'm slowly getting well. I have a dog called Glinda and 5 cats. Baby is my favorite cat - she is a manx and acts like a dog and growls, elc.
